I’m still recovering from Comic-Con (sorry MC, I missed Jessica Alba), so this will be real brief.

Not a great series against the Dodgers this weekend, although it ended well thanks to Adam Eaton. And a 7-3 road trip is always a good thing. Speaking of Eaton, check this out:

         IP  H ER HR BB SO  ERA   BA
May    32.0 42 29  8 10 28 8.16 .313
other  91.2 72 31  7 21 59 3.04 .195

But the real news is Kerry Robinson, who fascinates us with this quote from the Portland Oregonian: "How many times do people get sent down when they’re hitting .280? I don’t know if they expected me to be a power guy, or hit more doubles, or what . . . I just have to play my game. You would think that, in (Petco Park), where guys aren’t going to be hitting the ball out a lot, you would want a few guys to set the table and make things happen and score runs in different ways."

In Robinson’s defense, he’s hitting a ton (.302/.413/.491 in 53 at-bats through Sunday) at Portland. And if that’s really his game, then he deserves to be in the big leagues. But as exciting as those 53 at-bats may be, it’s hard to overlook 654 career at-bats of .265/.303/.335 in the Show.

I have nothing against Robinson personally, but to this point in his career, all he’s really proven is that he’s very fast. Every now and then he uses his speed to great effect, but that is the exception rather than the rule. If he improved his routes to fly balls, baserunning skills, pitch recognition, and ability to hit the ball on the ground, Robinson could make for a reasonably solid fourth outfielder.

Kudos to Robinson for accepting assignment to Triple-A and playing well. But maybe talk about table-setters should wait until he gets that on-base percentage up over the .305 mark.

Four-game series against the Giants begins tonight. Jake Peavy vs Kirk Rueter in the first contest. Usual time, usual channel.
